No we haven’t - stick around a little longer, we have ways that are much, much more offensive than anything you have yet experienced, or even imagined. I promise!
Making fun of weird posters who are mentally sound is one thing. JDT and Wildest Bill were extreme. But my guess is that was simply the way they were. They had no actual mental illness.
I'm convinced that G Nome does. Likely she is schizophrenic. Though bipolar affective disorder is a possibility. She isn't ON drugs. She's OFF them. Without her medication, her mind and her reality have bent and broke. G Nome posts what she does, not to pick a fight, but because she CAN'T post anything else. In her mind, the disaster of 9/11 was a plot to interfere with her mail. Take a moment to accept that. Now re-read some of her posts. They aren't the work of a troll. They are the product of illness.
G Nome does not want to start flame wars. She wants to make some sense out of reality. You know the cliche “This isn’t a post. It’s a desperate cry for help.”.
Instead of offering that help, I joined in the pile-on.
** G Nome**
If you return to read this, I sincerely apologize. I also advise you, seriously, to run to a good psychiatrist. You can not beat this alone. You need help.
OSAMA? QUICK! CALL THE FEDS!
G Nome - I’m curious to know why you characterise yourself as ‘dissonant’, even more so that you think it might be genetic.
I can understand ‘off beat’, ‘weird’ or any number of other popular over-simplifications but you chose ‘dissonant’ – I rather infer from that there is a negative quality in the way you project yourself/are perceived (in real life) which one might term, for example, ‘unsociable’ or ‘obnoxious’.
If that’s at all accurate, all of that stuff can be worked on you know…if you actually want to. Perhaps you’ve got too used to the ‘dissonance’…
FWIW, I guess it might be hereditary but surely the answers more usually lay in childhood experiences ?
As to Para three, I might be way off and I’ll keep my own counsel aside from saying I think you better leave that and address whoever off the board, rather than go fishing for a reaction.
Hey, Sweetie.
If DocCathode is correct, then I owe you an apology. I personally don’t think he is, but anything is possible.
I was clinically depressed about 10 years ago. I was incapable of realizing it at the time. My friends realized it, and suggested that I take meds. There are amazing things out there that have little or no side effects. But the bad part is, you don’t think you need medicine. I didn’t. right!
Since you seem drawn to post here, even after you have threatened to quit, would you answer one question?
**ARE YOU TAKING MEDICATION? WOULD YOU CONSIDER TAKING MEDICATION? **
Answer, please.
I’m with DocCathode on this one. This sounds eerily like when my best friend lost the plot a few years ago. Extreme paranoia and seemingly incoherent and disconnected thought processes are pretty straightforward symptoms of schizophrenia.
Please G Nome, please go see a mental health professional. Today. It must be really freaky for you to go through this without some sort of medical support. Take care ok?

I certainly can’t pretend to diagnose a person online, but she really resembles most of my unmedicated schizophrenic clients.
If she is schizophrenic and needs to be put on meds or have her current meds adjusted, it really is cruel to taunt her like some of you are doing.
Ignore or even ban her, but you might want to reconsider being cruel.
JMHO.
Schizophrenic or not, mentally ill or not, I do know that 'Nomer’s posts aren’t malicious. The way she writes makes her point clear to her… but a bit vague to us. Our lack of understanding makes us think that her posts are jibberish, when in fact it’s just miscommunication.
I sure hope she doesn’t get banned… it’s not like she’s trying to be a nuisance or anything, she’s genuinely trying to contribute to the board, in her own occasionally-awkward-yet-well-meaning way.
I keep getting the image of the character played by Kevin Spacey in the movie Seven when I try to picture G. Gnome…
Regardless of how my last post might be interpreted - schizo, ego, stupid - I apologise for implying that the people of NY would contrive to bomb their own city. That is not what I mean. My FBI/CIA thread should be evidence enough of that. Don’t be mad at me all the time. It makes you look like a little pack of do-it-yourself gravediggers because I what I just said.
People often get mad at me for no reason especially women. That sort of treatment over the course of a lifetime led to my last post. It’s like I really am some kind of freak or I’m a normal person living in a city of freaks.
Spoofe: Thank you. Aren’t you glad I don’t have a gun? I’m think I’m mutating into a Harris/Klebold hybrid. Now that was worth 43 more ranting posts I’ll never read.
Your FBI/CIA thread was evidence that no one knew what you were talking about.
And sometimes they get mad at you because you insult them.
I’ve learned that to ask G.Nome for clarification of her posts is to ask to be insulted – sometimes viciously.
I’ve also learned that to treat G.Nome with sympathy is to be at times insulted as well.
The advice is sound and good, here – medication. See a professional. Get help, now.
And maybe we should help you out by never letting you back in, as you so clearly ignored my warning yesterday.
I’m not a psychiatrist, and if I were one, I’d think twice about diagnosing someone through an internet message board. I’ve seen G. Nome perform enough tricks and weasels over the last two years to make me a little cynical about her motivations.
Is she schizophrenic, delusional, does she need medication?
I don’t know for sure, and neither do any of you.
Is she a malicious pain in the ass, unwilling to reasonably comply with our rules, and aiming to piss people off all the time?
I don’t know why she does it, but the answer is a resounding “yes”.
You do the math.
I’m with samclem. That was like watching a suicide. How fucking creepy. I feel ashamed and dirty…
[whispers] do * it * again [/whisper]
hmmm… G. Nome’s email address in her profile is with a very small and very local ISP in New Zeeland…
